Astrato Analytics vs. Databox

Astrato Analytics provides a feature-rich application that it easy to use for the non-technical user yet robust enough to create a sophisticated SaaS application. Astrato Analytics provides native integration to all the major large cloud data platforms and the implementation is very straight forward. The value provided through their feature-rich platform and competitive pricing is unmatched.

I believe Databox can be an asset for any company. We are a small company, but I can see the value for large companies too. Databox is a great fit for departments or organizations that need to put their data into a readable form without needing a ton of reports. Databox allows you to save time and put together a nice report without having to do too much extra work. Once it is set up, it basically runs on its own at the frequency you set. I personally receive a daily report and have it sent to the respective people on the day of our meeting so we can quickly review it.

• Writeback to the database is simple and straightforward and allows us to build apps in the tool with a level of interation that is not possible with other BI tools
• Version control that is built into the workbooks allows us to quickly deploy changes without the fear of losing the older version and maintianing both a historcal updates and the ability to rollback
• Easy connectivity to a wide range of data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, and Google Workspace within the same tenant allows us to leverage data from each of these platforms for specific use cases

• Create dashboards from a variety of data sources.
• Set & track goals based on the data and metrics provided.
• Send alerts and scorecard updates to Slack and email automatically.

• The product is still young, as a consequence, some features aren't as mature as competitors. Astrato has worked to catch up quickly, by rolling out new features regularly
• Better ability to control icons and themes from a central point, instead of having to add/change them on each report

• Some types of data can only be reported on for 1-2 months back. Unless I'm misunderstanding the function of the software this seems really weird. I can't figure out how to report on Activities more than 2 months ago

It is a very intuitive system, a pleasure to use, practical and simple, for medium to advanced activities. BI supervisors are delighted with much of the functionality, but highlight some weaknesses that they still have, such as the loading speed in HEIC-type files.

Without a doubt, it is a tool that has become essential in our business routine.

Databox is an intuitive, well-designed platform that can be used by non-technical marketers. It is easy to learn, and while set up takes time, usability is high and the team has enjoyed creating custom dashboards and clients have also given us great feedback regarding its usability and value. While other BI tools are much more complex to navigate, Databox is a breeze.

Very friendly, with online help, blog and community. The template documentation could be more complete, however.

I have really enjoyed using Databox and have seen the value of it in many ways. They also continue to improve the functions of it and grow their integrations and templates. I look forward to continuing to use Databox in the future, potentially even finding ways to incorporate it into other departments to help them with reporting as well.

To scale PowerBi, we would have needed a staff of technical folks and a substantial budget, and we still probably could not have created the robust SaaS application we did with Astrato Analytics. Astrato Analytics allowed for a staff of two to create and rollout a SaaS Application in under 60 days and provided hands on support to us as needed. There really is no comparison.

Databox is unique in its ability to report from multiple data sources. Google Analytics is the standard when it comes to web metrics, but it's just one of the tools that integrates with Databox. Tableau is fantastic for data visualizations and reporting, but it's much more expensive than Databox, so it's not ideal for everyone. Tableau is also superior with customization
